Just to confirm, this bug is only on patch load, right? Does it only happen
when it's loading a table stored in a patch, or does it do the same if the
table is loaded via soundfiler it generated algorithmically?

Is this fixable in partconv~ or is it a consequence of the design of the
patch load sequence?
